Reserve materials are not renewable. For all other library materials, patrons are allowed to renew up to TWO times as long as the items are not requested by other patrons.

However, please keep in mind that patrons are limited to renewing materials only until the end of the current semester. If you wish to renew into the next mester, you must bring the actual items to the Circulation Desk before the end of the current semester.

Under normal circumstances, patrons may renew library materials in a variety of ways:

If the Felician College Library does not own or subscribe to the book or article that you need, we try to borrow it from another library. Patrons are asked to complete the appropriate interlibrary loan (ILL) form, available both online as well as at the Circulation Desk, to request such materials: article,book, book chapter.

ILL materials take an average of two weeks to arrive. The Library will call you to let you know when your requested item is available for you to pick up. If your request is filled electronically, we will send it to you as an e-mail attachment instead.

Please note that you are responsible for the timely return of all ILL materials. Fines for overdue ILL materials are 10 cents per calendar day and may result in the loss of ILL privileges, holding of grades and transcripts, and possible disciplinary action by the College. Please see our Policies page for more information.

The Felician College Library is a member of the VALE Reciprocal Borrowing Program. This allows current faculty and students to visit and borrow books directly from many of the college and university libraries in New Jersey. In order to participate in this program, faculty and students must bring their current College ID to the Felician College Library's circulation desk and complete a form for each library from which they would like to borrow. Please note that any items borrowed through this program must be returned to the library from which they were borrowed.

Current students of Felician College may visit any public college or university library in New Jersey as long as they show their College ID card. Please note that access to these libraries does not include borrowing privileges or services that are limited to students and faculty of the host institution.
